My 13-year-old son is having ear pain, and he mentioned it hurts when he tilts his head down and up. I had to visit a chemist last night, and they gave him diclogem. I'm really concerned and unsure of what steps to take next. Could you please advise on what might be causing the pain and if this medication is appropriate for his age?

Throat pain while swallowing can be concerning.
Homeopathic remedies that may help:
- Belladonna (for sudden, severe pain)
- Lachesis (for pain on swallowing, especially liquids)
- Phytolacca (for painful swallowing, with swollen tonsils)
- Merc Sol (for throat pain with excessive saliva)
Consult a homeopathic doctor for personalized guidance and proper dosage.
Remember, if symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention.

View allI've had this throat infection for over a month now, and even after visiting an ENT and being on antibiotics for a week, it feels like things aren't improving. There's still some granulation in my posterior pharyngeal area, and I'm not seeing any real change there. I stopped smoking a couple of months ago, which I thought might help. Should I keep trying home remedies? I'm getting a sore throat every morning but no other symptoms. Any advice on what I should do next?
That could be due to allergy consume warm foods and identify the triggering factor and avoid it

I'm dealing with a sore throat and dry mouth, and it gets worse when I wake up. I've tried proton pump inhibitors, so I don't think it's acid reflux since I didn't get any relief, plus I don't have heartburn or burps after meals. I've also noticed some numbness at the tip of my tongue. What could be causing these symptoms?
yes you can take

My mom has moderate hearing loss in her left ear and sometimes hears abnormal sounds, but there's no pain. The doctor suggested surgery and did an HRCT of the temporal bone. I'm not sure if surgery is the only option right now are there any alternative treatments we should consider?
Yes, besides surgery, alternative treatments for moderate hearing loss and tinnitus include hearing aids, tinnitus retraining therapy, and potentially certain medications. The best approach depends on the cause of the hearing loss and tinnitus, as determined by the HRCT of the temporal bone and other diagnostic tests.
